    Summary

    it’s christmas, and the world is quiet in shane’s apartment.
    ilya isn’t used to softness on days like this — or to gifts that don’t come with expectations.

    the scarf is warm, familiar, and unmistakably shane’s, and accepting it hurts in a way ilya doesn’t know how to explain yet.

    but shane stays, gentle and steady, letting christmas be something different this time.

    Summary

    Shane pulls back, carefully cradling Ilya’s face. “Maybe we shouldn’t.”

    “You don’t want to?” Ilya’s eyes are bottomless; swimming with grief. He says it like he really means, You don’t want me?

    “That isn’t what I mean,” Shane says gently, brushing his thumb over Ilya’s cheekbone. Ilya’s eyes flutter shut, as if being treated so tenderly causes him physical pain. Like he isn’t used to it. “You’re hurting. I don’t want you to regret it in the morning.” 

    Ilya’s eyes open. “I have never regretted a moment with you.”

    Or: the missing hotel room scene in Florida after Shane comforts Ilya.

    Summary

    The want tears through him like a hurricane, entirely unconcerned with all the destruction it might leave in its wake. Right now, tomorrow doesn’t matter. Right now they don’t have to consider the consequences of this reckless night they’re about to spend together; a night where all their unspoken rules are being tossed out the window in favour of simply letting their bodies be honest.

    They can figure all this out later, but now…now Ilya needs Shane naked and writhing beneath him before he combusts.

    (Or, what happens in the hotel room in Florida.)

    Summary

    “I don’t want to smell that place again,” he says. “I don’t want to hear that language around me like that. I don’t want to be small again.”

    His chest tightens. His breathing gets shallow. He hates this part. The moment when the past stops being something he remembers and starts being something he feels.

    “I can’t,” he repeats. “I really can’t.”

    There’s a long pause. Then Ilya exhales shakily and adds, quieter now, almost breaking,

    “But I can’t leave her alone.”

    or;

    when ilya's niece loses her mother and reaches out to him in secret, he returns to russia with shane to get her out of an unsafe home.
